Hayzie Rose “Beauty Unconfined”
September 18 – 30, 2024
Leonard Tourné Gallery
83 Leonard St, New York, NY 10013
Artist Hayzie Rose’s first solo exhibition in the U.S., “Beauty Unconfined”, opened on September 18, 2024, at the Tourné Gallery’s outpost in Tribeca.
The exhibition features 52 artworks, including sculptures in cast iron, bronze, polymer, and clay, large-scale paintings on canvas, as well as prints and sketches produced by the artist from 2011 to 2024. The impressive inaugural ‘retrospective’ was attended by an eclectic crowd of 250 attendees that included guests from the art, business, fashion, and design communities, as well as the artist’s extended family, which included father Hal Rosenbluth, and aunt Cheri Kaufman, (part of the Kaufman’s family related to the legendary 1920’s landmark Kaufman Astoria Studios), to name a very few.
“Beauty can be found anywhere and in anything.”, Hayzie Rose commented. “Sometimes it just takes a different perspective to recognize it. As a combination of qualities that please the aesthetic senses, beauty becomes an individual’s opinion that is shaped by both nature and nurture.”
Hayzie Rose is a New York-based artist and designer. Her work blurs the line between physical beauty and idealistic beauty, inviting the viewer to unbiasedly discover, outside the confines of social norms, what beauty truly means to them.
Rose has spent her entire life practicing art, and she holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from SUNY Oswego. Her studies in media as diverse as metalsmithing, glassblowing, sculpture, illustration, printmaking, and painting have deeply influenced her multifaceted body of work. Her solo exhibition in New York, comprising figurative cast iron sculptures and large-scale works on canvas, will open at Tourné Gallery in September 2024.
She has previously exhibited in New York and London. In addition, Rose has designed for film and television and has worked in the art department for movies, including Ocean’s 8, The Irishman, and Joker, and TV shows, including The Gilded Age and Fallout. She has also designed several short films, including the award-winning Sulam.
